I think I've seen somebody whose sig has a dev asking: Did I just see you use the words "purpled out warshade" and "casual player" in the same sentence?

2. Willpower Tank - IOing these things with regen/+hp produces nasty results, my WP/Mace tank has about 830% regen from a single foe in RttC and capped HP on top of resistance/defense values that rival that of other tank (thanks to Tough/Weave) Throw on SoW for when you actually need extra mitigation (very rare) and you're set.

3. SR/Ninjitsu/Shield characters - Relatively easy to soft-cap defense, each has its own advantages, SR is a bit easier to cap and has some +rech, Ninjitsu has a nice self heal and some good crowd control, but is only for Stalkers, Shield gets nice damage, extra resistance/hp and a tier 9 that doesn't fully drain you.

4. Dark/Dark Defender... no real tier 9, but you won't need it when everything short of AVs are at the tohit floor.

5. Force Field Defender - possible to cap defense makes this a slightly more friendly Ranged build.

I agree with it all except this
"4. Dark/Dark Defender... no real tier 9, but you won't need it when everything short of AVs are at the tohit floor."

Fluffy is a real T9 and super awesome if you ask me

Yes, that's the incident I was referring to

Warshades (hard-capped res) and SR/Ninjitsu/Shield (soft-capped positional def) characters are pretty easy to get perma-godmode without using an awkward and quaint little T9 godmode power that has a nasty end/hp crash at the end - even Invulnerability, Energy Aura and Ice Armour can soft-cap against the defence types that tend to matter most of the time (S/L, maybe E/N too), but...

...shame on all of you for not mentioning any of the VEATs

Haven't read everything, hope nobody beat me to this:

Any stalker can get perma godmode. It takes a lot of recharge, but you can make Shado Meld from Stalker soul Mastery perma. Just slotting it with three recharge SOs makes it 46s recharge, 30s duration though.

EDIT: Never mind, I misremembered that power. It's 90s base recharge, 15s duration. At the recharge cap, it's still 18s recharge, so it can't be made perma. But a high recharge build could get it to 15s up, 15s down (100% global recharge on top of slotting) without outside buffs.

What builds can almost Perma their god mode or at least have their god mode up for 50% of the time in battle ? I am not just looking at Melee ATs but others as well that get God Mode powers in their Ancillarys/Patrons. What Ats and build are they and how can near Permagod mode be achieved ? Is it worth it ?

Thanks
/sr can get to what perma elude was with out elude in fact Elude is about as useless as can be for a good /sr

Once you soft cap on /sr at 45% defense to all you have everything elude has except the endurance boost but then again you do not have to worry about the crash either. So /sr can get to god mode with out it's god mode power.

Thrown in aidself or something like dm with siphon life and /sr is crazy good

The validity of your statment does not increase in direct proportion with the frequency and volume at which you speak it.

My Inv/SS tank is pretty much in godmode all the time. I didn't even take Unstoppable as it is useless. The only thing that can hit me is Psy mobs, I just kill those first. I plan on fixing that in the next build.

My Elec/SR Brute is untouchable as well. Heck even my Fire/Psy Dom doesn't take a lot of damage due to the fact the mobs are knocked stupid all the time.

If you're talking about Instant Healing then no; used to be a toggle waaaaay back when and with enough endurance you could keep it up and basically never die. Not sure what else you could be referring to.

Perma-ing the click hp increase and the regen increase... isn't that possible now?

Dull Pain is possible. Instant healing is not.
